Needed

Two to six players; one dice; a piece of paper and pen for each player

Setup

Each player is given a piece of paper and a pen. The youngest player in the game is the first to roll.

Objective

The object of the game is to be the first player to draw a complete beetle. A complete beetle is drawn with a body, a head, six legs, two eyes, two antennae, and a tail. Each body part goes with a number on the dice. The rolling player will draw the body part for the number rolled.

  • 2 - Head

  • 3 - Legs

  • 4- Eyes

Game Play

Players will take turns rolling the dice and drawing based on the number rolled. The body has to be drawn first as every other body part is attached to the body. This means a player has to roll a one to start drawing.

Once a player has the body, a head, leg, or tail can be drawn. The player must have a head drawn before being able to draw the eyes or antennae.
